a whole new watchtower society (governing body 3.0 / simplified society).
i'm not here to attack the governing body, watchtower society, or the jehovah's witnesses (jw) organization.
the bible says there is just "one hope" for christians (ephesians 4:4).
FT: Very soon I will be writing a condensed version of this (in the form of questions) to the Governing Body/Society just to see what their response (if any) will be.
Get ready to become one of us evil "apostates," summarily disfellowshipped and shunned.
Better get your house in order.

FT: What good has being "an apostate" (in the sense of rabidly opposing and hating the Governing Body) done in the past 60 years to bring about any changes or downfall of the Society?
There are several problems with this question.

I for one am too busy living to try and engage in such pointless foolishness.

So FT, you agree with 5 relatively pedestrian "teachings" of the GB (all of which, by the way, are not the sole, exclusive property of those august gents).
BUT YOU DISAGREE WITH 9 VERY SIGNIFICANT "TEACHINGS" OF THE GB, MORE THAN HALF OF WHICH ARE ARGUABLY ONLY TAUGHT BY JWS!
Get the clue: you're in a cult!
i was discussing this topic with two friends of mine, ex jws, a few nights ago.
i think it would be boring after a while.
you can't smoke, have to drink with moderation (difficult in europe with all the wines).
I enjoy life. As long as I'm reasonably healthy and am free to pursue whatever the heck it is I want to pursue, then: Yes. Hell, yes!
let's just say i sometimes don't know how to keep my trap shut.
i really need to learn to keep well enough alone when she attacks me.
keep in mind i never start the fights about the borg.
Tell your wife it's better to be pissed off than pissed on.
i received an email from one of the elder in the local congregation.
i am not dfed so there is not a problem there, i am just an aggressive fader.. one of the last things i said to this elder before i stopped all activities was that i do not agree with the borg taking all the assets from the congregations.. here is what the elder said in the email:.
"i recently saw something while looking through the jw broadcasting for the month of may and i though about you.
TTATTElder: The main point I am making with my wife lately is pointing out the absence of a public financial statement that lets people know where their donation is going
This is huge.
THIS IS HUGE!
Why does every congregation give a public accounts report EVERY SINGLE MONTH but the branches and the World-Wide Headquarters NEVER DO?
Let's review: It's a cult!

They told me I was guilty of making him masturbate.
This sounds like the elders are projecting.
In the 20+ years I was an elder serving on way-too-many Judicial Committees I learned from personal experience: many of the elders are closet perverts.
i met with a good family friend of mine who is a jw but will still hang out with me...apparently after this last time trying to encourage me.
lol.
but i shared a fraction of how i feel about the organization not to disrespect his beliefs, he just went off on the usual well it's an organization run by imperfect men and you can let the people affect you and need to remember it's the right religion and we need to put all that aside.
"We are the most perfect imperfect organization on earth!" .....Followed by applause. What does that even mean?
I got this! I means: It's a cult!

well it's an organization run by imperfect men
Yes it is. Just like every other religion on Earth.
remember it's the right religion
No it isn't. See above.
we need to put all that aside.
No we don't. Why should we do that? We don't do that concerning any other religion. Again, see above.
There is no reasoning with these people.
That is correct.
